1. What was the first fish you ever kept in some sort of an aquarium?
A full grown silver angelfish, given to me by a friend in the early 70's.
2. What tank are you most proud of and why?
My 53 year old "Retro" stainless steel 50 gallon tank with matching hood. Because it's both beautiful, rare, and still running.
3. How did you get here, specifically to these forums?
Co op videos.
4. What is something you think you do to make the hobby easier for yourself that others can use?
Refrain from stuffing my tanks full with fish. Low stocked tanks are easier to care for, healthier, and look more natural.
5. What is something you specifically wish for guidance with in the hobby?
More info on fish keeping and equipment from the early years of the hobby.
6. What fish do you miss most?
My lohachata botia loach. Had him for 21 years.
7. How often do you change water? Is this the same for all of your tanks?
Every 2 weeks on tanks with fish. I often have a Q tank running with only snails that only gets WC every 2 months or so.
8. What is better, one big tank or a rack of 20Gs, why?
Can't answer, it really depends on many factors.
9. When was the last time you spent 30 minutes staring at a tank?
Last night, and probably at least half of the days on average.
10. What is your favorite food to feed your tanks?
Blood worms, everybody loves 'em.
